13 hours (not all at once) from Atlanta to Dallas at 5 weeks! It actually took much longer due to stops for feeding, etc. And then we took an 8 hour flight. He did better than I could've imagined.

3 hours...It was brutal ONLY because it was at the end of a nap and she wasn't having none of it. She was 6.5 months at the time.

For G it was about 9 hours when his uncle passed away (they had family land in another state where everyone got buried).
For P it would be 2.5.... yesterday was the 2nd time & she did fantastic! We got on the road at 4:30 and she stayed awake almost the whole time just looking around! I was pretty amazed.

Wow, you all are brave or just have good car seat babies! My LO would flip her sh*t if we tried to keep her restrained and in her carseat for more than an hour tops lol. She gets pissy if she has to sit anywhere for too long!

14 hours at 3-ish months. We did the same trip again at 9 months, but split it into two days.

An hour and that includes a 30 minute stop midway. She still isn't used to her big girl carseat.

We did 16 hours straight through when DD was 2 and DS was 3 months. It wasn't bad, but we were very tired the next day!

We just did a 12 hour trip last week from Chicago to Northern Minnesota (would have been 10-ish hours without stops). Because she was still waking up at night, we were packed and ready to go so we could leave after her early morning wakeup. It worked out beautifully! We left around 4am and got 3-4 hours in before she was up for the day. And, she ended up sleeping for a good part of the ride after that.

12 hours when she was 7 months old. We left at bedtime and drove straight through the night. Stopped once for gas. We're doing it again in a few weeks.

5 hours at 7 weeks. We are about to do an 8 hour trip at 4 months, although I bet it will be more like 11 hours

We regularly do 3 hour trips to visit the grandparents. If we time it right, we're all okay! Ha.

19 hours at 5 months. It wasn't nearly as excruciating as I'd thought it would be, but I wouldn't sign up to do it again!
